Grated beetroot curry
Background
Beetroot is a vegetable with an acquired taste that has been linked with better stamina, improved blood flow and lower blood pressure. Drinking beetroot juice after exercise reduces muscle soreness and helps the muscles recover. My little one loves beetroot curry, so I make this curry at least once in a week.
